Little Star

International super-spy Beck Johnson shrugs off his leather jacket and rolls up his sleeves.

"If I don't diffuse the bomb," he says, "everyone in the city will die."

"We can't let that happen,” I say, cupping his stubbled jaw between my hands. "You can do this, Beck. I know you can. My uncle wouldn’t have hired you to protect me if he didn’t think you could keep me alive."

Beck sighs loudly and shakes his head. "Well, in case this is our last moment on Earth, there's something I have to do first."

"What's that?" I ask.

He lunges towards me, his thin lips crashing into mine. His breath is garlicky. He must've had a calzone for lunch again. Fucking amateur. He slips his eel-like tongue into my mouth and I nearly gag.

I shove him off me. “What the fuck?”

"Cut!" the director shouts. “What the hell was that, Shannon?”

“He stuck his fucking tongue down my throat,” I snap.

Leo, my obnoxious co-star, throws up his hands. "The script says 'he kisses her passionately,’ I was kissing you passionately.”

"You were mapping my fucking tonsils.”

My co-star stomps like an overgrown toddler, in a very un-Beck Johnson-like gesture. "I can't work like this, Jack!"

“Jesus Christ, you two.” The director pinches the spot between his eyes. “You know what? Fine. We're obviously not gonna get the shot tonight. We'll pick this up tomorrow. Five AM, sharp!"

I hurry off to wardrobe to drop off my character’s too-tight dress, and slip into my long pink bathrobe. My phone vibrates on the way to my trailer, but I don’t answer it. I just want to get dressed and get back to my hotel room, order room service and pass out in front of the TV.

Safe in my trailer, I sit down at the vanity and start to remove my makeup. As I wipe away the layers, the girl I used to be appears in the mirror like an apparition. She’s young, but tired. Pretty, yet sad. And though we share a face, we have almost nothing in common aside from a shared childhood spent hunting, fishing, and playing in the woods.

I started acting five years ago, when I was fourteen, but it wasn't until I landed the starring role as the president’s daughter in a romantic comedy that I became famous. Now I have a big, fancy apartment in Los Angeles and more money than I can figure out how to spend. I have assistants and publicists and agents and fans.

So. Many. Fans.

But the people and things I miss the most are all back home in Oregon. Like Ken's country house with the above-ground pool and the big Douglas fir out front. My parents died when I was little, and I had no extended family to speak of. Ken was my father’s closest friend growing up, and even though he’d never planned on having kids, he took me in and raised me up as his own.

All things considered, I had the kind of childhood you see in movies, complete with a dog, and lots of friends who came to my birthday parties.
